If you've always wanted to add “owning a vehicle with celebrity provenance” to your pantheon of materialistic achievements, then allow us to present you an opportunity: All-American ass-kicker and real-life GI Joe action figure Bruce Willis is donating five motorcycles for auction at Charitybuzz.

Willis is donating his motorcycles to benefit the Boot Campaign, a military-oriented charity that supports veterans during their transition back home, primarily by raising money through selling combat boots—some of which could be used to ride Bruce Willis's motorcycles. Bruce joins Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Charlie Daniels, and Dolly Parton as the Boot Campaign's celebrity supporters—don't accuse the charity of not being able to hone in on a certain homegrown demographic.

One would think that an action hero of Bruce's patriotic caliber would have a fleet of Harleys, rumbling and ready to shoot democracy at terrorists. Well, you'd be surprised: Willis has actually deigned to acquire some foreign machinery: a 2005 Ducati Multistrada 1000DS with only 285 miles, for starters. A pair of Yamaha dirt bikes is up for grabs as well, including a XT 350 and a TW200 Trailway for when Willis needs to escape into the mountains for some reason—punching bears in the face, for example, or building log cabins with nothing but the sweat of his brow and a couple of hand grenades.

The other bikes include a 1972 Harley-Davidson Sportster Ironhead XLH and a 1962 Cushman Eagle. The mental image of Bruce Willis astride the diminutive Eagle should be well worth the price of admission. (Our interpretation, here.)

One bike will be auctioned online every two months; the first bike, the Ducati, will go up this month, and bidding will continue for 30 days. Want to place a bid? As of this writing you have until Dec. 20 to do so.
